Man U 1-Barca 0, a.k.a. “No silver for you!”

By: Kevin | Comments 85 Comments

I’m going to be brief with this one because it’s late and my legs are tired from a long, cold ride home to watch a match that left me absolutely gutted.
Time’s up. No silver. I usually detest the idiots who do the post-game analysis for ESPN but this time, they were right. When it came […]

Manchester United - Barcelona: Champions League, Tuesday 2:45pmEST

By: Isaiah | Comments 56 Comments

Update: Check out the liveblog on the main page
This. Is. It. There’s no tomorrow, no next match. We’re in it to win or we’re out on the street. The whole season, all the good and all the bad, have led up to this moment, this game, these 90 minutes. Everything bad can be forgiven with […]

Gnus you all can use, including Brazilians and Frenchmen

Guess who’s coming to dinner at Old Trafford?
Yes, lads and ladettes, it’s already been announced: Thierry Henry will be getting the start at Old Trafford next Tuesday, because of his fine legacy of bedeviling the Red Devils. Woot! No word on the rest of the starting lineup, but I’m already excited.

Barca v Man U, a.k.a. “The Big One” 1:30 p.m. CT, ESPN2

By: Kevin | Comments 30 Comments

You know why this man is smiling? Because he is thinking about getting in some Red Devil ass, that’s why. Because this is it. The real deal, and he is the most pivotal player on the pitch for so many reasons, but most importantly, because they can’t score if they don’t have the ball. If […]

The Pipe is a grim thing

By: Kevin | Comments 18 Comments

I wasn’t aware that crack was such a problem in Europe. I know that I’ve said this before but really….it’s just getting too big to ignore. The evidence?
1. Chelsea manager Avram Grant said in a press conference that he wants Kaka AND Messi next season. Now, he was smiling as he said it, because that’s […]

Barcelona 1 - 0 Schalke: YAY…a Toure Edition

By: Isaiah | Comments 27 Comments

So I just spent somewhere in the 20+ minute region writing up what wasn’t too bad a post, certainly evolving into something worthwhile anyway, and then somehow the browser decided that it wanted to go to the previous page and I lost everything. That’s what I get for writing it online rather than offline and […]

Champions League preview: Barcelona v Schalke 04 (12:45 p.m. CT Wed., ESPNDeportes, 2 p.m. CT Thursday, ESPN Classic)

By: Kevin | Comments 8 Comments

It’s GO TIME, baby! Some are saying that Schalke is going to roll over and die at the mere sight of the blaugrana, and the roaring multitudes singing away at our stirring Himno. I don’t think so. They were encouraged by their second half performance, when we seemed to lose interest, and they will be […]

Are we crazy, a.k.a. “Expectations make Baby Kxevin cry”

By: Kevin | Comments 7 Comments

So, we’ve been wrestling with the burden of expectations all season long. Last season we grabbed Zambrotta, Gudjohnsen and Thuram. This past summer it was Abidal, Toure Yaya and Thierry Henry. Couple this with Krkic, the 1,000+goal wonder and Giovani Dos Santos, the Mexican Miracle, and we were all set up to steamroll the world, […]

Schalke 0 - 1 Barcelona: HUUUUUYY edition

By: Isaiah | Comments 9 Comments

Well, folks, I’m happy to be wrong here. I predicted we’d draw 1-1 and goddamn did we get close to drawing or losing, but somehow came out on top. I got home from work in what turned out to be the 10th minute of the rebroadcast and was immediately greeted with the words, “Barcelona is […]
